Although 15 runners go to post for the opening race on the Chepstow card this may not be as competitive as the numbers suggest. Musselburgh selling winner Schematic and the hat trick-seeking Baytown Flyer both have to be respected as does True Faith, who has been placed in similar company in each of his last three starts. The one to really catch the eye though is the Alan Berry-trained Wittily. The daughter of Whittingham has been highly tried recently and should appreciate the drop in class.
